yeah, despite what you read below (and i agree with ginzai) for some odd reason --and perhaps this is why i warned you off the books while others might look at the books as a more benign form of all the -isms -- i give TV shows (it's not TV it's blah blah) a bit more leeway on "slut shaming," faily takes on PoC characters and harsh judgment on ALL women other than the protagonist than i do lit. and since the books are riddled with these issues like cheese is riddled with yummy bacteria (imo & YMMV yadda yadda yadda) then i say watch the show, avoid the novels.

but it's an interesting contrast, where the books fail and the show succeeds and then where the novels succeed and she show fails. some people might just be more permissive or differently selective of where they allow for the quota of fail. for me, books and films? fail-free. tv? bring on the fail, as long as it's sandwiched with awesome. but that's another convo altogether. ;D
